Three generations of women and the complicated, sweet aspects of their relationships as they support one another while learning to live life on their own terms.




And I am utterly confused, since I do not recall any inheritance in the book. ;D

I read the book last year and I agree with you but...(view spoiler) I personally wouldn't have put this book in this list but I have noticed a lot of the Goodreads lists are bad. especially the typographic cover list.







Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love by Dani Shapiro 5 stars
The story of a woman's search for her identity after discovering her father is not her biological father. Excellent.
One of the best take-aways from this book is when they say you cannot judge the past by the present. You have to look at it thru the culture and technology of the time it took place. Something too many have forgotten.




The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
I gave it a 3/5 but really it was more 3.5. Not something I would pick up and read for myself, but it came highly recommended and I truly enjoyed the experience.


A unique version of Mother Gothel’s origin story. Loved this! It made me feel somewhat sorry for her.




Inherit the Wind: The Powerful Courtroom Drama in which Two Men Wage the Legal War of the Century by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
I borrowed this from the library thinking it was about the Scopes Trial and found it is only based on that but is actually fiction -- a play. I'm using it anyway. I think I've done pretty well with only 1 of 103 so far being fiction.

My choice as well. Excellent mystery!
